Transfer of state lands-exchange.
Wyoming's SF 128 modifies state law governing land exchanges between Wyoming and the federal government. It removes the previous requirement that exchanged federal and state lands must be equal in size, allowing for more flexible transactions. The bill also ensures all such exchanges follow existing orders, rules, and regulations related to land exchanges. This change directly affects how Wyoming manages land transactions with the federal government, streamlining the process without altering land use policies. The bill took effect July 1, 2023.
